Jaanuu
Favoured Frenzy
Under this ceiling, we meet again
but the air between us has soured.
Fear is not a shadow that follows me;
it is a pulse living inside my veins.
Every time our lips meet, I am searching.
I look for the traces of another’s name,
the lingering heat of a different touch.
I fear that your skin has become a map
of places I have never been.
I am not blind; I am simply haunted.
My heart is a mountain of quiet ash,
and the moment I gave in to your touch,
the eruption began.
-Jaanu.
